The Building
Division is responsible for the enforcement of the International
Building Code, the Uniform Plumbing Code, and the International
Mechanical Code as adopted by the State of Washington and Kitsap
County, as well as the Washington State Energy Code and the
Washington State Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality Code. The
Building Division performs plan reviews to assure that proposed
construction will comply with the adopted codes and ordinances,
issues permits, and performs inspections of construction projects.
The Building Division is also responsible for assigning addresses to
all improved properties in unincorporated Kitsap County and for the
investigation of dangerous buildings and code violation problems.

Washington
State and Kitsap County have adopted the International Codes in
order to protect the life, health and property of its citizens. The
Building Division administers these codes and assists the community,
design professionals, and other agencies by providing building
related information and technical support, as well as by promoting
education regarding local building code requirements. As the
building industry and construction methods are rapidly changing, the
Building Division must consistently review current construction
methods, materials, and code developments to be prepared to provide
the service that the public deserves. From new construction to the
repair or alteration of existing buildings, the Building Division
plays an invaluable role in the safety of a community.
